Boston Square Sensory Park

The brief was to create a stimulating environment on a west-facing square overlooking the sea. The site was prominent within the Hunstanton conservation area but over the years had fallen into disrepair and largely used for car parking. Special emphasis was given to the needs of people with physical and mental disabilities. The design approach addressed the issues of sustainability encompassed in the council's Agenda 21 objectives.

The concept for the park is based on the underlying geology and soils of Hunstanton. Consequently, the park is divided into three broad areas. Firstly, the 'clifftop' area at the highest part of the site which reflects the chalk meadow grassland. Next the waveform lawns in the middle that reflect the natural strata in the cliffs as they bed down towards the sands. Last, the 'shingle beach' garden and pool at the bottom of the site nearest the sea.

Boston Square Sensory Park received an award from CPRE Norfolk and was featured in several Commission for the Built Environment publications as a case study design exemplar for the regeneration of seaside towns.
